Arab League (AL) Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul-Gheit on Monday warned against any Israeli attempt that seeks to inflame the situation in Jerusalem for domestic and party reasons, the AL said in a statement.

Aboul-Gheit also warned against "the ongoing mobilization in lines of the extreme right-wing and the settlers that clearly attempt to provoke confrontations with the Palestinians via organizing protests that will inevitably lead to growing tensions."

"The current situation requires showing responsibility and practicing self-control for fixing the truce instead of provoking acts of violence and oppressive measures," he added.
